Comments on: Nights Of Our Lives

"Life is full of ups and downs just like our stories for this month. Sometimes you win: by embracing who you are and sometimes you lose: by driving a high school music honor society into the ground. Damon Runyon wrote that “life is 6-5 against.” We’d gladly take those odds. Hope you’ve had more than your fair share of triumphs.

"For this month, the Nights storytellers delve into the treacherous realm of dads and discover…hey, some dads can be pretty good after all. We have dads who sit in four hours of fog to try and glimpse the Man in the Mountains, dads who toss you their sandals on the burning dunes of Michigan, and dads who always supported you even if they didn’t always agree with your methods. Here’s to you having one of these dads.

"It’s difficult enough living with yourself! Imagine compounding that by living with other people! It can only be awful and the storytellers gathered for this month have lived the nightmare: from roommates who use your bed, to roommates who stay up way past your 9pm bedtime our storytellers have endured the worst of the worst. Come and commiserate!

"We here at Nights of Our Lives are a passionate crew. Really we are. Our curfew is now 11:30pm! Not on school nights of course. We’ve also had crushes on boys who grew up to be famous tv stars and we’ve even managed to pick up a girl at a bar, once. Has your pulse stopped pounding?? Tune in this month to hear these and other barely safe for kindergarten tales of passion!

"Somehow we’ve been telling stories for fifteen years now. Don’t ask us where the time went, we don’t know. But for our fifteenth anniversary we’ve gathered a trio of our favorite storytellers and we asked them to tell their favorite stories. Watch out for dead fish, aspiring models, and high school boners. You’ve been warned. Most importantly, thank you for listening all these years. Here’s to fifteen more.

"We don’t love snow but we do love love. At least that’s what we claim during our round-table discussion. We hope, you love this month’s show, since our theme is, well, love. We explore love in all its facets: near death experiences, Humvees, and “the one who got away.” Here’s looking at you, kid.

"Did you ever achieve sports glory? Me neither. So live vicariously through our performers this month as they regale us with such past triumphs as getting promoted to assistant bat boy, coaching a losing youth volleyball team, and pooping in a McDonald’s bag to get back at a crosstown rival. We only find the classiest storytellers for you!

"It’s the holiday season and that can mean only one thing: yours truly complaining about snow and joy. And also presents. Presents are always good. Our storytellers end the year by sharing stories of their Best Presents: whether it be a mother’s kick in the pants, a family car, or a Cabbage Patch Doll named Debbie. We all hope you have a wonderful holiday season! See you next year!

"We discuss all things Thanksgiving food in this month’s show, with yours truly—the host—decreeing that mashed potatoes should never ever be made with their skins on. Upon this I shall not waver. And with that we wish everyone a safe and healthy Thanksgiving!

"What scares you? Is it the sweetly sick taste of candy corn? Or an obscure peanut butter candy called, enigmatically, Chick-O Stic? Or perhaps it’s just the sight of your face in the mirror every morning (guilty)? Whatever it may be, we guarantee that this month’s stories will terrify you into never listening to this show again!! (Wait, scratch that. They’ll terrify you into listening to this over and over for all of eternity. There, that’s better.)
